True but I was referring to Erat for Forsberg type deals. It would be similar to Vrabata for Leon Draisaitl type of trade.

32 year old Erat got Nashville Forsberg.

Capitals could use Hamhuis. Hamhuis for Orlov.

It's possible Hammer could net us a decent (already NHL)player coming back I just feel the days of him being worth a 1st or a prospect are over.

Tuesday was yesterday dude...

OF NOTE — Ronalds Kenins and Alex Grenier have been re-assigned to Utica with Sven Baertschi (neck) and Brandon Prust (leg) back to face Carolina on Wednesday.

From the Province.

I was referring to Lefty's comment.

Not really because Forsberg, up until that point, when he was traded, hadn't played in North America yet. Draisaitl is a known commodity.

I'll never buy a paper from them again, but looking online is free.

Lou's going to the allstar game and the Panthers are in first place.

Holy Shyt.

It's not often I defend Botch, but his article was perfectly reasonable. It's whatever editor who came up with the headline that deserves a public ball kicking.
- CubanBuffet

Wait wouldn't Botch come up with the headline for his own article? Of course the editor is a parasite as well for not blocking him

Damn it, trade miller and a first for Lou

No…he had nothing to do with the back page headline. His article was fair and actually defended Jake and his abilities. It's guilt by association.

That crusty old fart, who's name escapes me, was on 1040 yesterday telling how the headlines are chosen. He used to work for the Province but retired?

I know and Torts is back coaching and we are almost bottom 3...

Times are good

No freakin way dude we have enough playoff chokers in this club we don't need Lou back here...

Gallagher? Honestly I think it is hilarious to hear everyone crying about how the "local" media is being mean to Jake.

The article was fine, the headline was inflammatory but that is what the purpose of it was. Jake will be fine.

Many of the people who laughing about worrying about players feelings earlier this season are the ones complaining that the media is too mean to Jake.

Sekera went for a 1st and a prospect who was drafted in the 2nd round (Mckeown), just last year and he was a pure rental. I'd say hammer is the better d-man... We should get at least that return
- Mungo

Totally.
There will always be a team that feels the need to cash in and make a run, or secure a playoff spot (Washington, Edmonton for example).

We used to over-value all our trade chips/prospects.
Now we under-value everything.

I think a 1st from a playoff team is not unreasonable, if Hamhuis returns to form before the TDL

Why doesn't it surprise me that you would be fine with singling out a single player to blame for a team game.
And for the record, I don't give a f*ck about his feelings, it was the type of low bar 'journalism' that pissed everyone off.

Nonis and Gillis years were killer when it comes to drafting
- LeftCoaster

Gillis was no where near a bad as Nonis and Burke.

Did you read the article ?

The province isn't even low bar journalism, it's a tabloid. They used that headline specifically so everyone was pissed off and talked about it for the next 2 weeks.

The headline did what it was supposed to do.
It got people talking.
The Province is not some high brow bastion of balanced journalism here folks...it's the province...it's a gossip rag.

Botchford's article was fair. It's not the article, it was the 'tabloid' ( you are right spot on ) headline that was so shameful. Hopefully, with the Eddie Lack love fest tonight, this will all be water under a bridge.

- bloatedmosquito

What would you guys say was the best move by Gillis? And I don't mean the ones that fell in his lap Ala Earhoff deal.

I'm pretty sure Hamhuis would want to go to a top team and if he does waive there's a lot of teams that you would consider contenders that do have a big need for a LHD for their top 4.

chicago - LHD = Keith, Van Reimsdyk, and Scuderi... very weak other than Keith of course.

Dallas - LHD = Goligoski, Oduya, Jokipakka.... Hamhuis would be an upgrade on all three

LA - LHD = Mcnabb, Muzzin, Ehrhoff.... Hamhuis would be an upgrade there as well

Pitt LHD = Maata, Domoulin, warsofsky (sp?)... big upgrade on 2 there

Wash LHD - Alzner, Orlov, Orpik (currently DL)


I think those could all be possible destinations and all have needs for a top 4 LHD

You better hope he keeps playing till he dies
